Shrimp and Broccoli Quiche image

This is a variation of recipe #93358 (Kittencal's Seafood Cream Cheese Quiche). I changed the size to 1 quiche, and changed a couple of the ingredients. For the pie shell, I use a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pie crust (9 inch)
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup broccoli, steamed and chopped
1/2 lb small shrimp, shelled, deveined, and cooked
4 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
3 large eggs, beaten
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (I use low-fat)
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
1 dash cayenne pepper, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Place pie crust into pie plate, according to the directions on the package.
  • Depending on your oven, you might find it necessary to pre-bake the crust before filling. You can find directions for "blind baking" at http://www.ochef.com/955.htm If you do that, you will probably need to adjust the baking time for the quiche and eliminate the first baking at 425°.
  • In a saute pan, melt butter and saute the onion and garlic until soft. Stir in broccoli and shrimp, then pour into pie crust.
  • Top with shredded cheese.
  • Mix together the eggs, cream cheese, half-and-half and cayenne (if desired) and pour over cheese. I used a hand mixer for this and had to take out a couple of tablespoons of the egg mixture so it wouldn't run over the pie shell.
  • Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce temp to 350° and bake for 30 minutes more.
